Costs in Criminal Cases.

The following act Of Assembly
was passed at the last session .! the
Legislature and approved May 49,
1887. 1t is entitled:
can Act, Providing for the pay
ment of costs in criminal cases by the
proper County:
SECTION |, Be it enacted. That
the costs of prosecution accrulng IN
every case OF misdemeaDor Ia any ol
the Courts of Quarter Sessions OF the
peace OF this Commonwealth shall, on
the termination of the prosecution by
the bill OF indictment being ignored
by the grand Jury, or by verdict OF
q traverse Jury aud sentence OF the
Court, thereon be beimmediately charge
able to aud paid by the proper
County: Provided, That the County
shall be liable only for the costs o.
such witnesses as the District Attor'
ney shall certify were subpenaed by
bis order and were in attendance and
necessary 10 the trial of the case"
The above act so changes the law
that now, Immediately after case is
ended the County is liable for the
costs of the prosecution in misde
meanor cases. Heretofore the Co.
was liable only in cases OF fe!onles
Now a county will have to pay the
costs in every case in the first In
stance, and subsequently, collect them
where it can. The reason for the
passage of the law was, we presume
the fact that in many cases of mlsde,
meanors parties and witnesses lost
the costs where bills were not found,
or where there was failure to con.
vict, or where the costs could not be
collected.
1t will also be seen by this act that
the District Attorney has the labor
and duty of certifying to the County
Commissioners what witnesses were
in attendance and necessary to the
trial Of a case. The county will only
be liable for the attendance of such
witnesses as the District Attorney by
his order directed to be subp9naed.
This places very important task in
his hands and in some cases may be
a very difficult and unpleasant one,
but one necessary for the protection
Of the County treasury. IL will re-
auire him to examine all cases care
fully in order to determine who and
what number of witnesses should be
subppnaed in O case. This in order
that be may be able to certify TO the
same. A party cannot subpe III an
unnecessary number of witnesses, as
heretofore, but in that matter be sub
ject to the opinion of the District At
torney.
The ID section Of the act makes il
''the duty of the District Attorney
and County Commissioners to use all
due diligence to collect the costs il
every case mentioned in this act from
the party made liable therefor, anc
pay the same into the County treas
ury" The effect Of this act, there
fore, will be the County paying the
costs Of every prosecution at the enc
of the trial, aud running he risk O
collecting the same in the fut ire
from the parties liable.

mated from the day. The clergy of
several places baye appeared in pro-
tests and say the deception on children
should cease, and that it has bad

the day. Apparently it has been az
innocent and harmless deception. but
on the ground that any deception is

The funeral services last Satur-
day over the remains Of Mrs. Emma
Neymsu, wife of DR.. A. N. Neyman
of misplace. were very largely attend
ed BY our citizens and were very i'm
pressive. In appearance Mrs. Ney-
man had been the picture of good
health and hence the news OF her
death was a surprise to all No more
forcible reminder of the saying, that
"in the midst of life we are in death, !"
could have been given our people
than was presented in her death.
She was also in the midst of her use-
fuIness. Her beresved husband and
children haye the sincere sympathy
of this entire community in their
great loss.
Mrs. Neyman was the youngest
daughter Of Gen1 John n. Puryiance
deceased. and was forty-nine years
of ago. The funeral services at the
house were conducted by the Rev.

SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND.
Revolutions Adopted BY the Local
l,a

Resolutions Adopted BY the Local
League Against the Coercion Bill.
The st. Paul branch of the Irish Ma
West Third street, yesterday, and adopted
the following resolutions, presented by the
committee:
Whereas, The enactment into law of the
coercion bill now under discussion in the
British parliament, would strip the Irish peo-
pie OF the right of free speech, free press,
trial by jury and the right Of constitutional
agitation for the redress Of grievances, whose
existence is admitted by the government now
in power, and
Whereas, The passage of the bill in ques-
ton is sought by the Tory party for the pur-
pose OF sitting, under the forms of law, the
efforts of people struggling for liberty, and
for the purpose of Furnishing as criminal acts
which the genius of every free people holds
innocent and patriotic, therefore be it
Resolved, By ST. St. Paul branch, No. 470,
of the Irish National league of the United
States, that as American citizens mindful of
cur own struggle against tyranny, we extend
our sympathy and pledge our assistance to
the people of Ireland in their present trial.
and protest in the name of justice and hui
mainly against the passage of the proposed
measure. We regard the great fight which
the Irish people are making for the right of
self-government as cause which merits the
appreciation OF Christendom, and we condemn
as tyrannical and Ubiquitous any legislative
enactment which would rob nation of the
great buwarks Of freedom which in time past
have protected the lives and liberty of all the
English-speaking nations.
